In the aftermath of twin shootings ( I won’t call them mass shootings or killings) a former assistant director of counterintelligence for the FBI, goes on MSNBC and forwards a theory that the President of the United States is actually sending signals to the neo-Nazi groups in America,

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/nbc-news-trump-order-flags-halfstaff-homage-adolf-hitler

This cretin is claiming that the dates of lowering the flag in honor of the fallen is actually a “bow” of sorts to white nationalist groups. Raising the flag on August 8^th is truly a sympathetic nod to Nazi groups?!?

8/8 means Heil Hitler? Does 1/1 means Always Adolf? Does 6/6 mean Forever Fuehrer?

This guy was an assistant director of counterintelligence for the FBI. Who vetted this guy then, or has he hit his head since?

This is the Kool-Aid the left is drinking. ANYTHING this President does is racist, anti-Islamic, anti-immigrant, and game for them to deride and ridicule. And they will get a free pass form the mainstream media. Any errors and subsequent retractions are irrelevant.

They hate him because of who he is. They hate his policy of making America a strong, vibrant country. They welcome the yoke of totalitarianism that will follow from our downfall, be it from without or within. They believe that they will be “in control” of the transformation, and thus will be able to shepherd the conservative flock towards the slaughter houses. They actually think the conquerors will allow the to remain in charge after the purge.

Rise up! Fight! Your very lives depend on it.

Nike is a large company, valued at over $130B. But they have one thing in mind—becoming a $150B company. They are not interested in doing what is right, only what makes them a higher profit margin. They are not patriotic, only chasing profits.

Last week, Nike unveiled a shoe to be released over the 4^th of July. It was a patriotic themed shoe with the Betsy Ross inspired American flag emblazoned on the back of the shoe. Stars, stripes, and a circle of 13 stars, of the Colonial flag.

Washed out (not up, as he was never really that good) NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick communicated with Nike stating that the flag conjured up images of white supremacy and that he was totally against the marketing of such a shoe. Nike, sensing a marketing moment agreed, and caved in to his ridiculous charges of racism and pulled the shoe even after it had been shipped to many retailers, and ordered it be pulled.

The shoes, originally priced at about $120 (for a pair of sneakers that wear out just as fast as my $40 New Balance pair) now go on the black market for as much as $2500. Nike, also cleaned house with about an added company value of $3B because of the controversy.

Nike rakes in $3 billion after Colin Kaepernick calls foul on shoe

I’m sorry, a flag from 200 years ago is racist? That would mean the country has ALWAYS been racist. Yet somehow, the all powerful white man has let this clown escape and make millions through complaining, the courts, and company endorsements. We certainly aren’t racist towards HIM, now are we?

Just to add a little recent historical context to this mini-controversy, one has to remember that Obama used this same flag in his second inauguration ceremony.

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/betsy-ross-flag-obama-inauguration

There were two of these on the back drop building. Also present were two 21-star flags, that were the standard about 1819. We’re still before the Civil War era.

I don’t remember hearing any complaints about using those flags from this has-been QB back then, or any of the current bitching 2020 Dem candidates.

I guess they just weren’t fully “woke” then, right? It couldn’t have anything to do with the fact that “their” President Obama was using them as convenient props.

Luckily, there are people like Joey Jones who see through the veneer of their social justice bullshit. Jones,, a double amputee, injured by an IED in Afghanistan in 2010 stated without fear that Kaepernick and his ilk “do not get to control the narrative” on symbols of patriotism and freedom. He had the Ross flag tattooed on his arm.

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/retired-marine-joey-jones-nike-betsy-ross-tattoo

Good on him. And it looks good, too.

Kaepernick can suck it. Nike, too. I’ll never buy them again.

The Push for the New Twenty Dollar Bill

The SJW are hankering and squawking over another “make themselves feel good” issue. They want Andrew Jackson removed from the face of the US $20 bill and replaced with a likeness of Harriet Tubman.

Tubman, herself born into slavery, escaped and made a reported thirteen rescues saving an estimated seventy other people from the ravages of slavery. Certainly no small feat, and without question worthy of being taught as a topic during Civil War history classes. But the $20?

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2019/06/19/schumer-investigate-harriet-tubman-20-bill-delay/1504713001/

New York Senator “Chuck-You” Schumer demands an investigation into the slow motion the movement has bogged down into. He wants to know why it can’t happen tomorrow and if by chance, the White House (That damned Orange Man) has anything to do with the delay. Of course. Schumer’s pandering of the month topic is being front burnered by everyone else on the planet, so it has to be a conspiracy. Because, Trump.

The cause célèbre is that the United States has no women or coloreds on our paper currency. This is a crime against humanity and likely will accelerate global warming if we don’t fix it now. We have less than twelve years to put her on the bill, after all.

Let’s just take a peak around the planet.

Australia: 2 women, no coloreds. I guess none of the Aborigines is their years of existence have risen to this level of accolade.

Venezuela: Their socialist Nirvana. 1 woman, no coloreds.

Syria: No women, no coloreds.

Sweden, another “socialist haven”. 2 women, no coloreds.

Cuba: No women, no coloreds. But Che Guevara is on one bill. That may be their main hold out. He was such a saint, after all.

China, Russia, even the ever-loved Euro. Nope, nada.

Let’s go to Africa, where the colored population is more prominent.

Libya: Nope, neither. No women,, no coloreds.

Algeria: Nope, neither.

Egypt: Lots of Sphinx depictions, but no women, no coloreds.

South Africa: Nope, not even after Apartheid. I guess Suffrage hasn’t taken hold yet.

Botswana and Kenya: Colored men, no women.

Sudan and Niger: Same as Botswana and Kenya.

Congo: Finally! We found one.

Zambia: Another one! Praise the Lord!

I can hear you now. But, Steve, oh wise one, We are Americans. Surely we can do better. We’re exception…. Oh, wait. We’re not exceptional. We’re just okay. Scratch that. But we just should. Because, Antifa!

Don’t know about you, but if it happens, I’ll be trading in tens and fifties. I have nothing against Ms. Tubman. I just can’t stand social justice being shoved anywhere. Be is down my throat, or up my ass.

***UPDATE***   16 July 2019

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/obama-officials-concede-role-in-slow-20-harriet-tubman-bill-rollout-report

I can’t really say it any clearer than the article itself does, so here are the first two paragraphs, in their entirety, lifted from the link:

“After Democrat lawmakers and commentators spent months hammering the Trump administration for supposedly delaying the release of a $20 bill featuring abolitionist Harriet Tubman,

several officials appointed by President Barack Obama have reportedly admitted that Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin has followed the Obama timeline for producing the new currency.  (Emphasis added.)

The Obama administration said 2016 that it wanted to remove Andrew Jackson from the $20 bill and replace him with Tubman, who helped free slaves through the Underground Railroad, and that the bills would be ready in 2020. But a current “high-ranking government official” appointed by Obama, as well as a former official, confirmed to The Washington Post that the Tubman bill had “had “always been scheduled for release toward the end of the next decade.”

This revelation was not enough for talking heads on the left.  MSNBC cretin Jason Johnson saying that with the deliberate “slow roll” of the change in currency that Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin was a racist and “basically” hates black people.  He also called Ben Carson (yes, the black Neurosurgeon Housing and Urban Development Secretary) a sexist.

Others were just as strident.  By strident, I mean ridiculously over the top, nearly maniacal in their overt hatred of Trump and all things Republican (and/or white).

“The white supremacists running this country are not about to put Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill to have y’all contemplating racism and resistance every time y’all go to the ATM,” artist Bree Newsome Bass wrote on Twitter.

Charlotte Clymer, a communications representative for the Human Rights Campaign, said in a tweet that the Trump administration was lying to “pander” to white supremacists.

“Make no mistake: the decision to cancel the unveiling of Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill is purely to pander to white supremacy. Period. Being ‘delayed until 2028’ is a goddamn lie. This is an attempt to make fragile white people comfortable.”

 A Goddamn lie.  White Supremacy. Racism.  It can’t be anything else.  There’s no way at all that it really could be that time consuming to create a new bill design with all of the absolutely necessary security devices embedded.  After all,, how many times have we redesigned the $100 to thwart North Korea from continually counterfeiting it?  These morons want you to believe it is a simple as a cut and paste on the ole’ tool and die set and Viola!  New $20 bill.

But that is how leftism works today.  They believe in their cause completely.  Utterly without remorse or recourse.  No back tracking.  As Anaconda Ovary Constipation says, facts do  not matter compared to being morally right.

I believe something.  My politics are “woke” (and yours are not).  My intent is pure.  If you disagree with me, then you must be racist, homophobic, Islamophobic, (insert your trending “ism” or “phobic” here).

And this, boys and girls, is why the country will not survive another iteration of Democratic rule.  Every tradition we have ever enjoyed, or passed down will be overturned.  All in the hopes that we “feel better about ourselves.”

https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2019/jun/20/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-compared-migrant-camps-co/

“This administration has established concentration camps on the southern border of the United States for immigrants, where they are being brutalized with dehumanizing conditions and dying.”

“And for the shrieking Republicans who don’t know the difference: concentration camps are not the same as death camps. Concentration camps are considered by experts as ‘the mass detention of civilians without trial.’ And that’s exactly what this administration is doing.”

These “experts” remain anonymous and un-cited. They are experts because she calls them so and because they release data vague enough to be cherry-picked.

The American Heritage Dictionary defines “concentration camp” as “a camp where persons are confined, usually without hearings and typically under harsh conditions, often as a result of their membership in a group the government has identified as dangerous or undesirable.”

These illegal aliens (as that is what they are) are given hearings to decide the legitimacy and legality of their refugee claim. At least they are when the sheer volume of critters coming across does not overwhelm our adjudication courts. When the tidal wave is too much and the hearings do not take place within the allotted time, these illegal aliens are often loaded onto planes or buses, transported to various cities across the country and simply released. They are given a court date to reappear to justify their asylum claim. 87%, EIGHTY SEVEN PERCENT do not return for their hearing. They just disappear into the fabric of our society, stealing a job intended for a legal worker, until such time as they commit yet a third crime to illuminate themselves back onto the target board of justice. (They broke our laws simply coming here, then again by failing to appear.)

Next, harsh conditions were what the Jews endured. Yes, I’m being deliberately mild. No heat, poor, insufficient food and water. No medical treatment for injuries or illness, inadequate clothing for climate conditions, insufficient equipment for the slave labor they were forced into. The illegal aliens we detain are often treated better than hard working young Americans struggling to make it on their first real job. They get food and water. Clean, potable water, not from a toilet like AOC claims. Those jail house approved contraptions have a toilet and sink combined in one single tower, not unlike a stacked washer and dryer. Two vessels moving water, two separate water lines. No cross contamination possible unless they piss or shit in the sink.

They have hygiene products, showers, heat and cooling, ventilation. Games for kids. Nowhere near harsh.

Overall, experts described US detention facilities as being far different from those of the earliest concentration camps, or from the Nazi camps—even from the ones that weren’t death camps.

The original purpose of concentration camps was to remove the populace from areas that were controlled or congested by guerillas and thus deny the guerillas popular support. This is not the purpose of the detention facilities in the Southwest.

So, under the “original definition” of a concentration camp, under this original intent, MEXICO would be detaining these people in order to sequester them from the insurgents such as the cartels and coyotes.

What we’re doing is just not the same as what the Nazis or Soviets did, and it’s a disservice to people suffering under dictatorship around the world to act like it is. We’re not rounding up legal citizens or going after specific minority groups and holding them indefinitely to squash dissent.

What is really comes down to is that AOC simply wants open borders. Trump has asked for nearly $5 billion in emergency funding to add more detention centers and the accompanying infrastructure. AOC refuses to fund anything that Trump wants.

Fascism

[fash-iz-uh m]

noun

1. a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez doubled down on her argument that President Donald Trump is running “concentration camps” to detain migrants and that his administration is “authoritarian and fascist”.

“Never again means something … the fact that concentration camps are now an institutionalized practice in the home of the free is extraordinarily disturbing,” the lawmaker said during an Instagram Live discussion, adding that the Trump presidency is “fascist.”

The bitch just likes to sling labels and names at people she doesn’t like and who don’t espouse her socialist views. If Trump were truly a Fascist, AOC would be in one of these concentration camps herself. Not the kind that truly exist along the border, rather, the kind she says is there.

A member of the Polish Parliament actually invited her to come to Poland and tour one of the preserved WW2 concentration camps to see for herself what real conditions were like. She refused. The truth doesn’t mesh with her preconceived notion of Trump’s guilt and the heinousness of all Republicans in general.

AOC was also invited to tour the facilities along the border. She stayed for a few seconds then left without gaining any contradictory truth. Instead, she brought up some arcane Facebook page disparaging her, yelled at the guards, admonishing them and claiming that she “wasn’t safe there”. She then had pictures taken of her by a fence where she could summon up fake tears as she viewed the “thousands” of children languishing in squalor. Problem is, it was fake. It was a parking lot with carefully cropped and edited shots eliminating the cars parked there.

It is astonishing to think about. She knows she didn’t see what she purported to see and experience. Yet, she espouses it to be true. I’m not a psychologist, but try to analyze the psyche of a person so deliberately dishonest, who concocts utter lies of such magnitude and repeats them with a straight face and a Twitter account. How hollow must be her soul, how lost, utterly bereft of conscious, hollering her echoing falsehoods within the twisted prison of her dishonest, hate-filled mind.

I pity the bitch. I really do.

President Trump, being interviewed by Piers Morgan made comments about semi-automatic weapons being “entertainment”.

In the interview, Morgan asked Trump about gun violence in America, specifically why a private citizen needs a semi-automatic AR-15 assault rifle in their home.

“Well, a lot of them use them for entertainment, they do,” Trump said.

“Are guns entertainment?” Morgan responded.

“For some people, it’s entertainment, they go out and they shoot and they go to ranges and they have a tremendous amount of fun,” the president answered.

https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/chelsea-handler-trump-impeachment-semi-automatic-guns-entertainment

Chelsea Handler, well known Constitutional Lawyer and multiple Ivy League Law School Graduate, immediately posted on her Twitter feed, followed by tens of people, that, “Trump telling Piers Morgan that semi-automatic guns are for entertainment is grounds for impeachment. There are thousands of parents grieving and he calls guns entertainment.”

I see.  Trump has a different view on weapons than she does and has the unmitigated gall to express it to a media hack with a greater following she ever has had.

I’d love to see the line drawing of this logic.  I’d like to see historical and legal documents where saying something SHE doesn’t like qualifies as a high crime or misdemeanor and rises to an impeachable offense.  Who does this psychotic, not-funny bitch think she is?  Her bloated and misplaced sense of self importance pushes all of the air from the room.

She should have called it hate speech.  It would make much more sense towards her ridiculous grounds for impeachment than just making the logic jump she has.  She doesn’t like what he said.  Therefore, the President should be impeached.

THIS is how unhinged these leftists are.  They are no longer tethered to any semblance of reality.  They want what they want regardless of precedence, rule of law, tradition, or public opinion.

The thing is, most of them even recognize this troubling character flaw about themselves.  But they no longer care.  They know the length of the news cycle, combined with the attention span of the average person, multiplied by their laziness against doing actual reading/research is in their favor.

They longer mask their longing to kill babies at any point of the birthing cycle, even after “canal passage”.  (I’m guessing having a cab driver ram the carriage in the hospital parking lot is still a bridge too far, but we’ll get there.”) The Mueller report says there was no collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. The left says the absence of evidence proves there was collusion. The left in Congress want to financially dissect Trump. He tells them to take their subpoenas and pound sand. They call that obstruction. Meanwhile, Elijah Cummings’ wife pays her non taxable charity funds (read: salary) from her taxable LLC.   They no longer offer even remotely legal or logical reasons for impeachment.  They just want him gone.  They can’t accept, nearly three years on, that Billary ran a lousy campaign, was singularly loathed and thus, unelectable, and was denied the coronation they all thought was in the bag. Then, the coup the FBI plotted and activated also failed. The left will do and say anything towards this goal. I bet they all cheated at Monopoly as kids.

There’s a heap lot of trouble brewing on the horizon, folks.  I’m almost 60.  I won’t be around for much of it.  But you young’uns…  this is your world.  How free to you want to live? Toiling forever on your knees, or fighting and scrapping against the machine on your feet?

You’re kidding!

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/05/30/nearly-nine-in-ten-illegal-aliens-recently-released-into-u-s-not-showing-up-to-court-hearings/

Nearly 90 percent of illegal aliens released into this country with a mandatory court date to determine their continued stay here fail to show up. Well, who knew?

That could be because only 12% of these aliens who actually complete the asylum process actually are granted asylum. Most are discovered to be liars, criminals, and other worthless scum. So they apply, are given a date to appear, then released and never heard from again—until they commit another crime. A heinous one, often times.

Last week, a billionaire gave the commencement speech at Morehouse College. In many such occasions, the speaker, usually successful and no societal slouch, are bestowed with an honorary Doctorate. During the speech Smith, an investment firm wizard announced hw was developing a grant that would pay off the 2019 graduating class’s student loan debt. Estimates put this gift around $40 million.

And the millennial flood gates were opened.

Shortly after this, media mogul and millionaire herself, Oprah Winfrey gave a commencement speech at a college. She handed out copies of her new book to all the students. She was immediately set upon by one millennial asking why she gave a book and didn’t pay off all those kid’s student debt.

And right there, folks, is the me generation in all of their loving socialist ways. One person, mad a $40 million move. So, the standard is now set. Everyone else has to top that. It is sort of like all of these idiot Democrat candidates. Everyday one of them pipes off with something further left than their competition. Is there a wall on the left somewhere that even they can’t go left of? I’m thinking not.

Oprah responded though only weakly. She defended her previous philanthropic work at Morehouse (she has donated $13 million for scholarships—a preemptive strike against student loan debt). She didn’t mention how arrogantly assumptive the complainer was. So, you can bet no lesson was learned.

If you give a millennial mouse a cookie, he’s gonna want a glass of milk.

If you were paying attention last week you got to see a couple of stark examples of media bias, ideology norms, and behavioral differences between various segments of society. These would be the less than 1 percent who serve (based on population percentages since 9-11-2001) and the rest of the population. Between conservatives and liberals.

https://www.foxnews.com/us/navy-leader-who-told-sailors-aboard-uss-harry-s-truman-to-clap-like-were-at-a-strip-club-has-resigned

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/brian-sims-resign-abortion-pro-life-harass

Granted, I don’t know the Chief personally, or his politics for certain. I do know that from my 20+ years serving, the military tends to leans right. Teeter-totter not even coming off the ground, right. It only fits with the disparity of ideology. The right and military espouse more tradition, structure, and discipline. The left does not; it is more about feelings and doing what you want to do.

The example:

Command Master Chief Jonas Carter instructed attendees to a speech to be headed by Vice President Mike Pence, to “clap like they were at a strip club.”

Versus

Philadelphia State politician Phil Sims saw two teenage girls, 13 and 15, praying outside a Planned Parenthood office. Earlier, Sims had been on a rant against an elderly women for her stance against abortion. As to the girls, Sims belittled them for the color, religion, even political ideology. I don’t know about you, but I don’t know many 13 year old activists. Sims then offered $100 to anyone who could “dox” the girls.

A quick Google search shows that to dox someone is to: “search for and publish private or identifying information about (a particular individual) on the Internet, typically with malicious intent.”

Teenagers. And Sims wants to destroy them. Tough guy, this one. Oh, yes. Real man.

The build up:

Chief Carter was reprimanded for his choice of words. “Not keeping with the Navy standards of leadership.”

Versus

Sims was slammed by GOP critics and calls for him to resign were growing. Planned Parenthood called him a champion on pro-choice issues.

The result:

Chief Carter resigned and retired from the Navy.

Versus

Sims is still “serving” the people of Pennsylvania.

The analysis:

The Chief is more guilty to being blind to today’s hyper active sense of political correctness. Clapping like you’re in a strip club implies the objectification of women. In today’s #metoo, and #sexstrike world, the Chief had just touched the third rail. Had he said, “Clap like you just won the lottery.” All would have been fine aside from the left still complaining about him encouraging applause for a conservative, evangelical man.

Sims couldn’t care less about the optics of his actions. He chose them, in fact. He advocates for the killing of unborn babies and gives not one shit what the other side thinks or says. He never apologized, saying only that he “can do better”. He knows the entire leftist machine and their lap dog media sycophants will shelter him.

The story is already out of the media. Sort of like the Chief is out of the Navy.

Right versus left.  Military versus never served.  Stark differences.

Once again, the moronic knee-jerk, idiocy spewing anti-American Ilhan Omar stirs the pot leaving her political side looking foolish, unprepared, and less attractive to thinking voters. Her fellow idiots (useful and not) will continue to vote for her. It’s easier than looking away from their smart(er than they are) phones.

https://thehill.com/latino/441768-omar-us-policy-helped-lead-the-devastation-in-venezuela

“A lot of the policies that we have put in place has kind of helped lead the devastation in Venezuela,” the Minnesota lawmaker told the “Democracy Now!” news program.

“This particular bullying and the use of sanctions to eventually intervene and make regime change really does not help the people of countries like Venezuela, and it certainly does not help and is not in the interest of the United States.”

We break from our usual sarcasm to bring you about five minutes of facts brought to you through simple research. This information is open source and gleaned in about twenty minutes.

We’ll just include the last three Presidents (or dictators if one prefers).

Hugo Chavez 1999-2013

Nicolas Maduro 2013-present

Barrack Obama 2008-2016

In the 1950’s the GDP of Venezuela rivaled that of West Germany. They were the 4^th wealthiest nation in the world per capita.

From the 1950s through the 1980s, Venezuela enjoyed steady economic growth, largely through oil exports (discovered in 1921). Venezuela had the highest Latin American standard of living as the 6^th largest OPEC nation. Unfortunately the leaders all built the nation on not a deck of cards, but a single card—oil. The collapse of oil prices in the 1980s hit hard. Nearly 17% of Venezuela’s GDP was petroleum based, and 95% of that was oil. Oil had been $100 a barrel and went to $40.

Losing 60% of revenue was devastating. The liberal-styled economic policies of Chavez (everything was free) wreaked havoc. Inflation soared from 50-60% yearly (under Rafeal Caldera 1994-1999) to triple digits under Chavez even though he falsely reported economic figures to keep foreign investments coming in. In 2015 hyperinflation struck hitting 159%, the highest rate in Venezuelan history and the highest in the world at the time. By 2017 inflation was at 4000% annually. Today, their inflation rate is, get this, 2,295,981%. Unemployment in 2018 was 34.3%

In 2002 (Chavez) about 20,000 of their oil workforce was fired. Their main export was now largely without skilled workers. From 1998-2008, the United States paid $325 billion for oil. 500,000 barrels per day. Venezuela was our 4^th largest oil importer. As far as trade goes, the United States accounted for 42% of their exports, followed by China (23%) and India (19%). On the import side, the United States again led the world with 38%, followed by China (18%) and Mexico (12%). We imported machinery, agricultural goods, medical equipment and supplies, and cars. Things every economy needs.

Chavez then nationalized thousands of private businesses. He just took ownership (and thus profits) away from owners. Imagine if the US nationalized Ford, Starbucks, Home Depot, and Amazon. Chavez rewrote their Constitution so that he could remain in power. It had been that a President served one five-year term. He could run again, but not until two more five-year terms has been served by others. Now he could be President for life. And he was. Chavez and picked his heir Maduro who has continued with these failed openly socialist policies.

The GDP of Venezuela has continued to slide under Maduro. Down 16.5% in 2016, down 14.5% in 2017, down 18% in 2018, and so far in 2019 down 8%. Meanwhile Maduro raids the gold coffers of the nation and is wealthiest beyond dreams. Socialism at its best. The elite are cared for. The country has a poverty rate of 90%.

Now, if you examine these numbers, they mostly happened under the OBAMA presidency. Trump didn’t do it, he simply has nuanced it, or enhanced it.

Back to the idiot Omar.

So, somehow it’s NOW America’s fault that Venezuela has failed in its socialist experiment. Funny, I never heard her speak out (or any of her ilk) when B. Hussein was on the throne. Just now. Because, Orange Man.

Then, when Vice President Mike Pence speaks out, saying she doesn’t know what she is talking about, she gets all butt hurt.

During the Fox News interview, Pence was asked why he spoke out against Omar.

“Well, because the congresswoman doesn’t know what she is talking about,” Pence said. “Nicolás Maduro is a socialist dictator who has taken what was once one of the most prosperous nations in this hemisphere and brought it literally to a level of deprivation and oppression and poverty that we have never seen. Nine out of 10 people in Venezuela live in poverty. Three million people have fled Venezuela. That’s not a result of U.S. policies, that’s a result of the dictatorship and socialism that has been imposed on the people of Venezuela by Nicolás Maduro.”

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/pence-hits-back-at-ilhan-omars-venezuela-comments-she-doesnt-know-what-shes-talking-about

Ever so fast to play the victim, race and gender cards, Omar responded.

Omar took to Twitter to say that Pence’s criticism is something “women of color have heard” before.

“Instead of ‘we disagree,’ it’s ‘she doesn’t know what she’s talking about,’ ” Omar wrote. “They have to make us feel small.”

https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/442094-omar-responds-to-pence-saying-she-doesnt-know-what-shes-talking-about

Even a former Governor of Venezuela, Diego Arria responded to Omar’s idiocy about the US policies causing the collapse of the Venezuelan economy. At first he couldn’t understand who was making the comments as they seemed so anti-American and vengeful. He then called her remarks ignorant, stating it is an absolutely false assertion that US sanctions caused the collapse.

https://finance.yahoo.com/video/rep-ilhan-omar-comments-venezuela-232416747.html

Omar always resorts to any criticism to her blathering as an attack on women, or better, and attack on colored women. Best of all, if she says, Muslim colored women. That’s the Trifecta. Her retorts are never about the content of the criticism, but always try to redirect the argument off topic to one on classes, gender, or religion.

Like Governor Arria said, she is ignorant. What this twat doesn’t get is that ignorance is not always a bad thing. It can simply mean being unaware of the facts. One can then learn the facts and be less ignorant. Pence is not necessarily implying that Omar is stupid. No, I’m doing that.

Were the topic to be about, say, Islam apologism, incest by marriage to a sibling, or anti-Americanism, then VP Pence would be the ignorant one. Omar would be the subject matter expert.

See, it wouldn’t matter if the argument was about which apple made for the best pie. But we have to hear her even if we don’t want to listen to her. The media on both sides makes sure we do. But to watch her try to deflect the topic away from her stupid remarks, she stifles debate through implied victimhood. Hopefully she is a one-term Representative and can take her lifetime stipend back to Mogadishu. Oh wait, she can’t talk that this over there.
